The 43rd Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2018)

The IEEE LCN conference is the premier conference on the leading edge of theoretical and practical aspects of computer networking. LCN is a highly interactive conference that enables an effective interchange of results and ideas among researchers, users, and product developers. For the past 42 years, major developments from high-speed networks to the global Internet to specialized sensor networks have been reported at this conference. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Personal and wearable networks

Wireless ad hoc & sensor networks

Information-centric networking

Embedded networks

Opportunistic networking

Delay-tolerant networks

Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or a journal. Full papers (up to 8 camera-ready pages, 10 pt font in IEEE format) should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the conference. Short papers are an opportunity to present preliminary or interim results and are limited to 4 camera-ready pages. Short papers will be presented in a poster session. Both full and short papers are published in the proceedings and IEEE Xplore. All papers must include title, complete contact information for all authors, abstract, and keywords on the cover page. IEEE reserves the right to remove papers from IEEE Xplore that are not presented at the conference.

Paper submission

Papers must be registered on EDAS and submitted in PDF format. Detailed submission instructions are available at the conference website. Direct your
questions to Program Chairs: Soumaya Cherkaoui(Soumaya.Cherkaoui@USherbrooke.ca) and Karl Andersson (karl.andersson@ltu.se)
